Product Description
Accepts all 35mm cameras except those with large, accessory battery packs or motor drives
Amazon.com Product Description
Stroboframe's Quick Flip flash brackets are compact, lightweight, and handle quickly, making them ideal for casual and professional photographers alike. Although lower in price than the company's top-of-the-line brackets, the Quick Flip 350 shares the same high-quality aluminum construction, which includes a baked-on finish for hard use and durability. The unit's base, meanwhile, is perfect for all 35mm cameras (excepting those with large accessory battery packs or motor drives) and is configured for both eye-level and waist-level viewing. Most importantly, the Quick Flip 350's pivoting flash arm keeps the flash centered above the lens for both horizontal and vertical compositions, helping let in the optimum amount of light. Other details include a machined, positive-locking shoe mount that's interchangeable with an optional handle mount; a high-density neoprene foam side grip for comfortable shooting or carrying; and a nominal lens-to-flash distance of 12 inches. Note that Quick Flip models do not accept camera anti-twist plates. What's in the Box
Quick Flip 350 bracket, shoe mount, 1/4"-20 camera mounting knob.

 Good Bracket December 27, 2008
Michael Baumann (Atlanta, GA United States)
Using it on my Canon 40D and it attaches well with multiple positions to choose from.
I guess the only caveat I have is that the flash clamp can be a bit hard to work with. If the flash is not 100% straight - it can slip out.
Nice for the price, some drawbacks November 25, 2008

I bought this to use on my Canon 40d with battery grip, and it does the job (you need the off shoe cord to make it work, buy the dot line one, works the same as the canon for half the cost). it lets you shoot vertically without the ugly shadows. The grip mounts into the bottom of the BG via the tripod screw, this is the major design problem in the unit. With the weight of my flash (430ex) it has the tendency to flop around unless I tighten it really hard, and even then it can still slide if you knock it. But in all its good, and inexpensive, and relatively hassle free. Professionals should look for something designed better, but for a photographer on a budget this is an easy solution to improve vertical flash pictures.
Pros:
Easy to use
Works with most any SLR
cheap
Solid Construction
Cons
Flops around unless screwed in tight

Its a very nice product and works well when I do my profession shoots. I am only disappointed that it didn't come with a little screw attachment so my flash would fit. I had to buy it for $15 at B and H. A little screw thats worth maybe a dollar. A little frustrating....
good for the price August 19, 2008

I use this with a canon 40D and accessory battery pack and it does fit just fine. I've shot a couple of weddings since buying it and it's very light and sturdy enough and the hinge can be tightened if the flip is ever too floppy. You do need a anti twist plate or the camera will rotate on the mounting screw. I tried Velcro which worked well until the rubber on the frame base became unglued so 4/5. Other than that it's well priced and will work just fine for me. Anyone know where I can get the anti-twist plate for a 40D with battery pack?
An affordable solution. July 17, 2008

I have shot many portraits and weddings with this bracket and have been very satisfied. My setup: Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D), Canon Speedlite flash with Sto-Fen omnibounce connected by an off-camera shoe cord.
I have never used any other bracket so I can't compare, but this one has always gotten the job done.
